Beethoven In His Young Days

Aside from all Beethoven's success story in my previous post, for this time lets just take a look at Beethoven as a young man, before all the success and everything else.

After the death of his mother, Beethoven had become head of the family and his father were just sitting in the pub drinking.

After the death of his mother, Beethoven had become head of the family. His father did nothing but drink sitting in the pub, his older brother was lazy, his younger brother was too young to help, and her sister was still a small child. He got a job as a violist in the orchestra of the court, and therefore could not provide all that he loved his family very much. In 1792, when he was 22, Beethoven moved to Vienna, where his house for the rest of his life. In Vienna, the first years were difficult.


beethoven
Beethoven had very little money, and lived in an attic. Then the Prince and Princess Lichnowsky invite him to come live in their house, which he did willingly. He played music all the time, but he was best known as a pianist. His compositions have no attention until 1800, when he was searching 30Article and his First Symphony was played. Since 1798, Beethoven had occasionally found it difficult to hear what he said. He realized that he always deaf. It was during this time of grief, he wrote these masterpieces of mourning his Sonata Pathetique and Sonata in D.

So today we get to know how Beethoven is in his young era, hope this will inspire many of you ^_^

Beethoven And Women

beethovenBeethoven had a difficult history with the women in his life. His mother was by all accounts a very affectionate and attractive women, which was the opposite of his violent alcoholic father. Beethoven lost his mother shortly consumption in his first trip to Vienna and there must be a terribly depressing time for him to have been in such a young age.

It has never been married and it's fair to say that Beethoven's romantic relationships are something of a mystery to this day. He certainly have relationships with women, but everyone has to do with Beethoven often rejected in preference for another man in marriage.

In the only true and meaningful relationship, for which we have found evidence in 1812, the year of the infamous "Immortal Beloved" letter that Beethoven wrote passionately a lover unknown. It is clear that Beethoven was in love with this woman, and we can through his words that his passion and anger overflow and in his music.
Beethoven had a very high ideal was a noble mind, some authors suggest that this is why he never successful with women, always expect too much from them, and love. This kind of perfection and nobility could never be lived in real life by anyone under the age of a saint.

To illustrate the humor of Beethoven, in this regard, we have the story where he discovers that his brother was with a woman he was not married rooms. In Beethoven's rage, threatened to report them to authorities when she got married and took his threats seriously, they did.

Of course, some of the most memorable gestures and romantic of the great geniuses are found in the music he wrote for the woman he loved. His heart is able to express through his native language of music is really amazing. That is Beethoven *_^

This act made him the honor of being the first independent composer, even in this period was distinguished musicians such as Mozart, part of the contract in the possession of the rich noble families.

Beethoven's Personality

beethoven personalityFor the world of the most famous classical composers of today are certainly Mozart and Beethoven. In this article we will include a careful examination of the person to comment on the composer - Beethoven. His life story twists and turns a very interesting read and supported by the soundtrack of his music shows him to be a true and rare genius.



It is well known that Beethoven was a strong personality and first-hand many of his colleagues, was quite difficult, a time to get understand with, or in fact. No doubt, deafness large Mans and his obsession to hide the fact, contributed to his behavior seems strange and stubborn.

Through his music, it is clear to see for the whole world that he was a man of noble and lofty thoughts and ideals, even if his personal treatment of several of his colleagues was particularly scathing critics and moralists, to say the less. Known to be a stubborn man his time living in the house of Prince Lichnowsky's house a select group of people allowed him to intimate that most of them know in advance.
beethoven personality
It would be contrary to the common protocol and too late for dinner, do not care about time or the label of punctuality. Many accounts note his clothes, and how often it appears unkempt and unshaven. For Beethoven, born in a noble was no real value and should give you right to remove any automatically obtain, were the things that a person had to gain by their conduct in life.

The fact that the hearing had begun to disappear, still young and with a bright future as a pianist performing in front of him can not be underestimated. In its efforts to hide his infirmity there was no doubt peoples opinion of him as a strange, awkward, and a hermit. This fact is primarily responsible for the behavior of both Beethoven in his later years, especially after 1801, when he finally agreed that his condition was incurable.
